Consider characters limit on the comments

Open ghost opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

We may need to consider some options regarding the comments, since we're working on a sidebar level we need to encourage the users to keep comments really short almost as 'tweet', this will help keep objectivity on each comment and provide a great scan for the discussion/thread.

If this is not a valid option, we may need to predict the way we display longer comments (with view full comment hint) and use the add comment section (maybe with scroll), but this is something I'd suggest avoid.

I'd suggest keeping it simple for the time being, limiting the size of the comments to something like 1000 characters, which is already quite big. Then, on a second iteration, we allow bigger than 1000, but warn the user that "Part of the message will be hidden", and we truncate the message around 1000 chars, with a "more..." to expand.

@marcooliveira That's might thoughts exactly, I would do go for the later long term and, for now, implement a simple 1000 chars limit.
